Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Yawen Zhang and my Queen's student number is 20091668. My major is Economics, and I'm in my third year. In order to make best use of my spare time, I'd like to take winter-session courses at another institution. The host university is a Malaysian university, New Era University College (NEUC).
I'd like to take the following courses at NEUC:
ECON 307 Monetary Policy (equivalent to Queen's ECON 422/3.0 - Monetary Economics)
ECON 320 Principles of Development Economics (equivalent to Queen's ECON 435/3.0 - Development Economics)
ECON 402 Public Economics (equivalent to Queen's ECON 440/3.0 - Public Economics)
PSY 101 Introduction to Psychology I & PSY 102 Introduction to Psychology II (equivalent to Queen's PSYC 100/6.0 - Principles of Psychology)
The course equivalency is based on my rough evaluation, please understand if it's incorrect.
Hopefully you may kindly help me evaluate these courses and grant me the approval to take the courses on a Letter of Permission.
I'm expecting your reply. Many thanks.


Best Regards,
Yawen Zhang

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: My academic plan for the coming semester is to take four courses, including both compulsory courses and optional courses. My course plan for the Summer 2022 semester are ECON 411, ECON 421, ECON 483, and ENIN 204. I guess such a plan will help me balance the demanding curriculum and a pleasant daily life. Maybe I will graduate earlier if things all go as planned.
